Today’s episode I talk with Asakusa’s local eccentric, Ito Takashi a.k.a. tobetobekusa.

At his gallery and shop just outside of Tawaramachi station he teaches me about the subtle concepts behind some traditional Japanese arts (especially pottery) as we share a cup of coffee.

Please check out his links to see some of the examples we talk about!

Today's music is “ズレる” by Mass of Fermenting Dregs

The first 「Weekly話題」 episode!

I will now be uploading 2 episodes a week!

The first episode uploaded Monday mornings (Japan time) will be Japanese only conversations (as we've been doing) and the second will be mid-week where I will talk about news, updates, language tips and tricks, and any other randomness that comes up. Also at the end I will be introducing a song by an artist I really like!

For those of you who are only interested in the Only Japanese conversation episodes fret not! I will continue to be uploading those episode at the same rate as I have been, just adding these as an outlet for myself to connect with you guys and talk about what is going on, what I've learned, and to share a little bit of music.

Thank you always for listening and if you have any questions or comments please check out the links below!

Episode #16! Pochi and I play a cheap Japanese game that was on sale in the Nintendo Switch E-Shop. It's all about 空気読み and rating how well we can "read the air". But what does it meant to "read the air" anyway? And how will we fair at this small obscure game. Does it accurately determine whether or no we are good at picking up on Japanese social queues?

This episode is best experienced visually on my youtube channel "bananafish" ---> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovxsOjsRVio&feature=youtu.be
